The solution is slightly high in terms of affordability. I give eight points only because the price is a bit high, which is the only problem since I am the purchasing person, but not the technical user.
The pricing is considered unreasonable, and there is speculation that IBM may not be putting much effort into further development, possibly treating it as a cash cow.

I strongly recommend to make upgrades together with IBM or IBM partners - from my experience upgrade is usually very complex.

I don't deal with the licensing of the product and therefore do not have any pricing details.
The price of this solution is very high, and it increases year after year.
